Sir John Leslie bol škótsky matematik a fyzik, ktorého výskum sa primárne zameral na teplo. Je známy svojim moderným popisom kapilárneho javu a prvou umelou výrobou ľadu pomocou vzduchovej pumpy. Jeho experimenty sálavého tepla, prezentované v Leslieho kocke, demonštrovali vplyv povrchovej úpravy na žiarenie. Leslieho odkaz spočíva v jeho inovatívnych experimentoch a prístrojoch, ktoré rozšírili naše chápanie tepelných javov.
